Cryptos Like Bitcoin, Maker, BCH Are Sinking to Lowest Prices In 2018, Why This Trend?

Over the past 48 hours, the Bitcoin (BTC) price has continued to dive lower and lower.

Bitcoin Cash is also suffering at $415 with (-3.56%).

It even went as low as $5,528 as Coinidol recently
reported. This is so far the lowest price the crypto industry has registered in over 12 months. Some other coins also dropped hence making the market cap to collect $184 billion. The crypto market has lost over $23 billion in the last 48 hours, according to
coinmarketcap data.

Is This Manipulation?

BTC’s $5,500 value is very low compared to what it was 11 months ago. For instance, in December, it was almost $20,000 though it didn’t take long, nevertheless, the price has been poorly fluctuating since then.

The deep drop in BTC’s price was further accompanied by high sell-offs in some other digital assets and cryptos.
